Samsung Odin3 or Odin (for short) is the official Samsung firmware flashing tool for computers running on Windows OS. If you are planning on installing a custom firmware to any Samsung mobile or flashing a Samsung mobile, irrespective of the model, the ODIN flashing tool is the best app to use. Interestingly, all the versions of the Odin app are available for free; all you need is the download it from a verified source/host website.

With the Odin flash tool, it is very easy to install firmware binaries (BL, AP, CP, CSC [CSC and HOME_CSC], and PIT) or recovery images with .tar or .md5 extensions. Unfortunately, Mac users can’t use this tool as it is specifically made for Windows OS.

Furthermore, ODIN is the best tool for flashing firmware, root files, or installing custom ROM on Samsung mobile devices. We will list all the versions of Odin, including the customized versions as well. Rooting a Samsung device just got easier when you use the Odin app. However, while many of the Android devices out there have a Bootloader Mode plus other modes like Fastboot and Recovery embedded into a single interface, Samsung Galaxy devices seem to be different as you’d rather have to hold down a couple of buttons to boot the device into the Download mode or recovery mode.
